WHAT IT MEANS.
This is no time for ugly names or .u
pleasant and unkind epithets. There
is no need for any one to be hurt. The
issue is not one of individuals or per
sonalities. It is not Haskell nor ;Till
man. The principle involved is that
of Democracy. These principles cannot
be maintained nor propagated except
by a party organization. No party
organization can be maintained except
by the enforcement of some rule by
which the minority must acquiesce in
the will of the majority. We do not
see how any one who does not submit
to this will of the majority can longer
claim.to belong to that party.
If it were otherwise there could be
no party organization. Those who are
opposed to the action of the convention
of the people regularly assembled and
acting with delegates regularly elected
by the people are acting outside of the
Sty.
But such action in this State means
more than this. Those who were old
enough to know and, experience the
condition of affairs in this State during
that period from 1868 to 1876 ought to
know what such action means now.
The Republicans have endorsed the
Haskell ticket and will, as far as they
can, give it their support. They ex
pect nothing this year except to see the
Democracy divided. That is vic,ry
enough for one year. If this division
can be made effectual, and by their
help Judge Haskell and his ticket
could be successfui, does any one sup
pose this result would satisfy the Re
publicans. Not by any means. Two
years from now the Republicans would
come in and demand everything, and
South Carolina would again be put
under the rule of carpet baggers and
negroes. Judge Haskell and his ticket
have taken the tiger by the tail and it
will not be long before they will be
calling on some one to help them let go.
* We honestly believe this movement<
of Judge Haskell's is tending to break
up the Democratic party and for thati
reason we are opposing it on principle.
The Herald and News is a Democratic
* newspaper and as long as it is we shall
oppose any movement that looks toi
disrupting that party.]
The negro race is not going to divide
and it is no use talking about. No<
persuasion or argument has ever been<
* .able to accomplish this. If the white
race divides, the negroes would rule
and they would be justified in doing it.
The two races are politically opposedi
to each other and it is natural that
they should be. Then why should
the whites divide when the conse
quences of such action are so plainly
written in the experiences of the past.
And what other lamp is to guide us ex
cept the lamp of experience. We sup
port Tillman since his nomination be
cause in doing so we feel that we are
supporting the principles of Democracy,
and the maintenance of these princi
ples in South Carolina means protec
tion to our homes, our property, our
wives and our children. We may be
wrong, but that is the way we see it
and we cannot do otherwise. We do
not propose to say hard things of any
one. There has been too much of that
this year already.
The situation in :South Carolina to
day is to our mind a serious one. We
trust that that providence which holds
the destinies of nations in his hands
may guide us aright.
The Greenville News very truly.
says:
"We have tried it. The negro is.
solidly Republican to-day. We have
been giving him all Hampton promised
and all that Haskell dares to offer him.1
If he votes for Haskell now, it will be
under the orders of the Republican
State Executive Committee, and under
the same orders he would vote for Till
man or Bob Smalls or the devil against
Haskell.
The negro will not divide. Hestands
by his race and party through thick
and thiu. Judge Haskell offers himself
to the negro's hands as a club with
which to smash the Democratic party
and to break the white man's line. It
is a sorry office. The negro will be glad
to use him in that way and to march
happy and triumphant to resume his
rule and to restore all its horrors with
his grip fastened so tightly that no
power can loosen it.
A Haskell victory means negro rule
in South Carolina as surely as the
breaking of the bars of hisceage means
*devastation by a hungry and furious
tiger."
There were only a few counties in
which campaign meetings were held
.last Monday. The turnouts for these
places were small and there was not
much enthusiasm. The people are
busy and have been surfeited, so to
speak with public speaking this year.
Speaking is not so much needed at
this time as action. Let no man be
too busy on next Tuesday to go to the
polls and vote for the regular Demo
cratic nominees for State affces and <
for Congress. This is an ifaportant1
matter. 1
Don't forget that voting next Tues-- 1
day will begin at seven in the morning<
A TRAVELLING HAN'S FIGURES.
A well known traveling man who is
supporter of Judge Haskell has made
Ln estimate of the result of the coming
itate election. He gives Judge Has
zell and his ticket a majority of 10,00(
nd arrives at his estimate as follows:
)f the 110,000 negro votes in the State
ie takes off 10,000 who will vote for
l'illman, a5,000 that are not reisterec
md 25,000 that won't vote, leavini
i0,000 Republican votes for Haskell
'hen he gives Haskell 20,000 of the
Democratic vote of the State, makini
total of 70,000. Of the 80,000 whit<
7oters he puts 10,000 as unregisterec
Ld 20,000 for Haskell, leaving Tilimar
t white vote of 50,000. Adding 10,00t
iegro votes to this gives Tillman 60,000
- reenville News.
We do not agree with these figures
We do not believe that the Haskel
icket will get 20,000 Democratic votes
But we have only placed these figures
trd this estimate before the Demo
,ratic readers of this paper to show hov
.t is possible for the independent ticke
o wiu even when you take from i
yver half of the negro votes. Ever:
Democrat should look up his registra
ion ticket and go to the polls and cas
bis vote for the Democratic party an<
white supremacy. Remember, toc
that the polls open at seven o'clock ii
the morning and close at four o'cloc1
in the afternoon.
Let every Democrat and every whit
man and every lover of home rule an(
bonest government turn out next Tues
day and cast his ballot for the regula
Democratic nominees. The principle
:f Democracy and the integrity of th
party are involved.
VOTE FOR JOHNSTONE.
While we are interested in the sue
Dess of the regular Democratic Stat
ticket, we should not forget that it i
equally important to vote for the regu
[ar nominee for Congress from thi
District.
Vote for Col. George Johnstone
who is the Democratic nominee. Thi
is the best way to put on record you
trong disapproval of the Lodge Bill.
It is important to have a Democrati
Congress. More than this it is <
paramount importance that the Den
ocrats of the Third District shoul
turn out and vote for the regula
nominee of the party.
You are not voting for individuals i
this matter, but the principles of yot
party.
Let no man be recreant to his duty
Not to vote is a half vote for Tolber
and the Republican party.
Remember that the polls will open a
seven o'clock in the morning and clos
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
At the election next Tuesday a
amendment to the Constitution is to t
voted on. The amendment, if adopte
will repeal Section 19 of Article IV <
the Constitution, which provides ft
the election of a Board of County Con
missioners. The section in questio
reads as follows:
"The qualified electors of each count
shall elect three persons for the tern
of two years, who shall constitute:
Board of County Commissioners whic
shall havejurisdiction over roads, higl
ways, ferries, bridges, and in all mai
ters relating to taxes, disbursements e
money for county purposes and i
every other case that may be necessar;
to the internal improvement and loct
:oncerns of the respective counties
Provided, That in all cases there sha]
be the right of appeal to the Stat
yourts."
If you vote "yes" you vote to repet
:his section. If you vote "no" yo
vote in favor of letting the matte
stand as it is.
If the amendment is adopted an'
~his section of the Constitution is re
sealed, why then there will have to b
ome other mode of selecting thes
>fficers, or some arrangement for som
>ne to perform the duties of Count
Dommissioners. In our opinion th
Iest plan is to vote "no," and let th
matter stand as it is, unless somethin
better was offered.
Senator Hampton has written a lel
ter to J. L. M. Irby stating his pos
ion on the Haskell ticket. He wi
support t he regular ticket but says thi
sno time for abuse. Read his lettei

FHE HASKELL TICKET AND THE Ri
PUBLICANS.
The Republicans have held one c
two conventions and just the other da
:he address was issued by the execu
tive committee permitting the Reput
ticans to vote for the Haskell ticket. I
s~ said in the address that this can b
:onsistently done without violatin
llegiance to the Republican party.
The New berry Republican committe
as also endorsed the Haskell ticke
ad advises the Republicans to vot
that ticket.
This action of the Republicans an
:he address and explanation of Judg
Easkell looks very much like a bargai:
ad been made with the Haskeil ticke
mud the Republicans. We do not sa,
hat there has been,but only put the tw
things together and draw the conclu
sion which is legitimate.
We trust that all things will wor:
:ut well in the end.

COLUMBIA, Oct. 24.-Senator Hamp- Cou
ton has addressed the following letter
CD by
Ito Col. J. L. M. Irby. it will not satis- eou
fy extremnists' on either side, perhaps, Con
but it will meet the approbation of all COU
other citizens: N. G. 0- ley
COLUM , S. C., Oct. 23, 1890.-Col.
J. L. 31. Irby-My Dear Sir: When I vill
wrote a personal letter to you recently Ke
my intention was to remain silent until Nl
I could give my views to you more fully W
than was then done; but since my re
turn home so many friends have asked
of me an expression of opinion on the re
condition of political affiairs that I
in1
gave a brief statement to the press a thE
few days since. This, perhaps, renders tha
it unnecessary for ine to address you m
again; but as various communications Sh<
and invitations to speak at public meet- wa
ings have reached me I take this me- ro
thod of making my views known to Co
those who have done me the honor to ceh
ask for them. De
Another reason that induces me to
take this course is the fact that my me
position regarding politicat matters c
here and my conduct have been grossly -
misrepresented in some quarters, and I
c desire that my fellow-citizens may be rc
fully informed as to both, so that they
may judge aright. ad
When my old constituents of this be
I county, who had so often trusted and
honored me in the past, iuvited me to ga
address them in June last, I caie, t
having but oneobject in view, and that th(
was to appeal toour people for harmony' it i
for conciliation, for unity of action. I be]
expressly disclaimed any intention of wi
interfering in any way with the canvass eff
for Governor, and I neither advocated St
any candidate nor opposed any. I said
that the people were the sole and th
proper judges in the selection of their
officials and that fron their verdict
an
there should be no appeal. In order be]
thatthere might be a full and freeex- ati
pression of their wishes as to selection
of candidates, I urged that a primary Col
should be held, and had this plan been vo
adopted the present deplorable condi
s tion of affairs would not have existed. E
r Other counsels prevailed, and the result
is a divided party and a bitter contest
between Democrats, all of whom should in
C be united to maintain the supremacy
f of our party and to promote the welfare
of our State.
No-one deplores the unhappy dissen- to
sions in our party more than myself, jo
r and I would willingly make any sacri- ch
fice to heal them were it in my power L
to do so. But the only remedy that ca
can be applied must come from the ye
conservatism and the patriotism of the 10
people themselves, and we can only or
hope that by the exercise of these th
virtues the dangers threatening us may co
be averted. . do
It was the conviction of my inability th
t to reform our, broken ranks now that Cc
e induced me to decline to take part in
any public discussion on the hustivg.- ac
My judgment is clear that public meet- he
ings at this juncture would be unwise;
that they would only tend to widen the
existing breach in our party, and per- re<
haps to make it irreconcilable. We ar
e want no further excitement; we have
, had already too much of that, and of a
pernicious character; the issues involved JA
are fully understood by the people, th
who are entirely competent to deietu
them. . . w
aBut whilst I shall not speak again in ..
this canvass, I shall support the ticket ~
nominated by the Convention in Sep- its
tember; but in doing thislI by no meansze
endorse the grave charges which have re'
been made against the Democratic party so
of the State. Hoiiesty and integrity ac
have marked every adnimstration ,
which has governed the State sine ecr
1876, and wve shall indeed be fortunate pe
Sif our officials in the future shall be au
as able, as patriotic and as honest as ra<
they have been in the last fourteen cls
years an
I am compelled to support the Sep- of
tember ticket because it was nominated'er
by the Democratic c~ onventi.on, and be-i
cause the other ticket lacks that en
dorsement. I regret deeply that this
rlatter ticket has been brought out,
though I have the greatest respect for
the gentlemen composing it, and I do ha
not, for one moment, question the ly
motives of tho'.e who nominated it.tr
For the gallant and distinguished gen-tr
tleman who is at its head I entertain tei
8the highest possible regard and esteem. wi
I cannot forget his eminent services to
Sthe State, in peace and in wvar. To rat
him we were largely indebted for tihe mi
success which crowned our efforts in it
e1876, and there is no office in the gift of r
Sthe State for which I would not earn
estly and cordially support himi were g
he endorsed by the recognized authori- of
ty of the Democratic party. All de- mn
nunciation of him and of those whom to
e represents is, in my opinion, unwor-co
-thy of those who indulge in it, and it av
1will only serve to prolong and embitter all
sthe unfortunate strife which nowv an
divides our party. No one who knows ha
Col. Haskell can doubt his sincerity, st'
his conscientiousness or his Democracy. th
I certainly do not; and while I think ar
that he has made a mistake in lending tb
his name and his influence to the or
movement inaugurated by his friends, er
shall not denounce the man who was be
~-my comrade in the war, who was one cic
-ofthe ablest and bravest officers in my g'o
command, and who was my trusted fa
-friend and adviser in '76. .w
I do not venture to ofler advice to so
8my fellow-citizens, for my last honest fe4
Seffort to doso fell unheeded; but I do va
appeal to theni, by the glorious memo- we
ries of'76, by all our hopes for the en- Alj
8during prosperity of the State, to avoid we
tall sem blance of violence in dihe conduct st
eof the election. Any act of, that sort we
would not only tarnish the fair fame of go
the State, but it would place in the wj
Ihands of our political opponents the id<
8most powerful weapon to be used to
aainst us, and it would furnish the Tl
strongest argument for the enactment ha
tof the odious Federal election bill now
Spending before Congress. o
Let every man who holds the honor su
-of our State dear constitute himself a tb
special guardian of the peace, and let pe
us prove to those who traduce us thbat go
Swhatever differences may exist in our mi
party we canl settle themi at the ballot- no
box, without resorting to intimidation,
to fraud or to violence. Then we may ci]
-confidently cherish the hope that when ser
the bitterness engendered by the pre- for
sent unhappy strife hats died out we of
shall see again a united party and a so
prosperous people-a return to the ex
time, do

An Appeal to Carolinians.
To the Editor of The Herald and
ews:-If, at the approaching State
ection the negro vote confront the
Dglo-Saxon race in sufficient strength
carry to victory for the Independent
,ket, internecine war will not unlike
be the result. Is the bitter lesson
blood, sorrow and degradation of the
ce we belong so soon to be forgotten?
fter nearly thirty years that auto
atic element whose orifiamine bears
ie imperious motto, Noi rie tempore,
-ain commits the supreme folly of
cession, enters into an unholy league
ith negroes and throws the State into
volution, aye into blood, rather than
ibmit to the will of the people.
Like Lucifer, the arch-fiend, some
ten would rather "reign in hell than
rve in heaven."
The whitened bones of brave Con
,derate dead appeal in vain to such
ien. The cold form of our beloved
liefrebukes, bya life of patient, heroic
durance, this arrogance of power,
lore supreme than the peace of homes
r the welfare of our State. Clans of
'arolina, arm you for the fray! Again
deei our commonwealth from
ireatened negro dominion. Follow
rave Butler and Hampton, as in '76.
nd rout this enemy, more insidious,
ecause disguised by names once hon
red in our history. Crushed now, this
ydra-beaded monster, independent
im, will trouble us no more.
Carolinians, by the sacred memory
f widowed hearts, the cry of help!ess
rphanage, and the tears of women,
ho suffered all the pangs of the bitter
ast under negro rule and ruin, we
barge you to vote for white supremtacy,
be safety of your homes, the peace
ud prosperity of your State-or, by
our vote, bring the opprobrium of the
ivilized world upon the once-honored
ame of South CAROLINA.

alk About the Coming State Election.
[News and Courier.] A
OL'31BIA, October 28.-The joint t
aing of the State Democratic execu- ti
committee and the Democratic l
nty chairmen was largely attended 0
the committeemen, but only a few ri
nty chairmeu were present. The A
imitteemen present represented the ci
nties of Auderson, Beaufort, Berke- tl
Charleston, Colleton, Clarendon, a:
,lington, Edgefield, Florence,Green- s(
e, Fairfield, Horry, Pickens, Union, n
rshaw, Orangeburg, Lexington, r<
rlboro, Lancaster, Marion, York, si
lliamsburg, Chesterfield, Laurens
I Newberry. a
'he names of the county chairmen s<
sent could not be ascertained but not
re than six or eight attended f
meeting, although it is said r
.t others were represented by corn- c
tteemen. Capt. Tillman and Capt. e
ll were at the meeting, which n
s held at noon in the committee o
is. The only information which (
airman Irby furnished as to the pro- r
dings of the meeting was that the t
mocratic executive committees of the b
eral counties had been ordered to a
et at once to take action as to the b
npaign. What that action is to be o
s not revealed. I
Vben questioned concerning the i
ispects Col. Irby said that all the re
*ts were excellent, and he facetiously c
led that Tillman's majority would c
sixty thousand. Dr. Sampson Pope %
e the same figures, and asserted I
Lt not over six thousand Democrats c
uld vote for Haskell. In spite of t
se humorous predictions, however, a
s evident that the committee do not 3
ieve that work can be dispensed c
th, and that immediate and unusual r
rts will be made to carry the
Lte.
Phe Lyles or Haskell commit tee say
xt they are receiving very encourag
, news, and that with a free election
i a fair count they will win. A mem
r of the committee said that inform
on had been received that Capt. Till
Ln's supporters were employing
ored men to work up the Republican
te for him, and that the committee t
re confident that deals for that vote
re proposed, but would prove inef
tual.
Plhe claims of the Democratic com
tree were ridiculed as preposterous.
BRATTON DOWN ON BOLTERS.
rhe Winnsboro News and Herald
day published a letter from Gen.
hn Bratton to the Tillman county
airman of Fairfield, Mr. John W.
,Ies, refusing to address the meeting
led by that gentleman to be held
sterday. Gen. Bratton's letter is a
ig one. He charges that the Lyles
anization is illegal, and declares
at a response on his part would be
istrued as condoning, perhaps en
rsing a bolt, pure and simple, from
e Democratic party of Fairfield
unty. He concludes as follows: 1
'You and those associated with you
bieved the distinction of making
re in Fairfield the first breaks in the
ks of the Democracy in this State.
>ur revolt against the lawful and the
,ognized Democracy of our county
d the organization of another party
re instigatea by purely partisan pur
ses and a deliberate preconcerted
t to destroy it if found necessary to
eir acconiplishment. Failing to cap
re their constitutional organization,<
th utter disregard to our party obli
tions and no conside-ation whatever
the true interest of our county and<
people, you, in your blind partisan
1, formed your independent array,
ying on partisan power outside to
stain you in your reckless, suicidal
Lion.
'Your claim to recognition as Demo
mts or as other than bolter's or inde
ndents, can be traced to no lawfuli
thority of the consiitutional Democ
>y of Fairfield, but is the reward
imed by you and accorded to you by
arbitrary, partisan majority outside
the county, for headlong, inconsid
te, partisan service inside."
FO UNDATION PRINOIPLES.
[he G reen ville News in a recent issue
s the following truthful and time
comment. We commend this ex
.ct to the thoughtful an~'d careful at
ition of our readers. It is worth your
de to read it carefully.
'The foundation principle of demnoc
y is the rule of the people-of the
jority of the people. WVe believe in.
and hold to it. It is an eternal
ucipleand a splendid one direct from
d who made man a free agent and
ye him intelligence, courage and love
liberty. We- do not think that per- I
rnent, living, glorious principle ought
be surrendered or abandoned to ac- I
nplish a temporary good or to
oid a temporary evil. The people of
ages and countries have gone wrong
d blundered, and they do it yet. So1
e kings and princes and great
tesmen. On the whole we think
Speople-the many--the majority
Ssafer rulers and better rulers than
e few. We can not accept the the
'7 that the principle of popular gov
iment should be done away with
ause the people do not always de
le justly or wisely. A great many 4
ad men thought this Republic was a
lure and ought to be destroyed 4
en the people elected Thomas Jeffer
a President. There was the same ]
ling when Andrew Jackson was ele
ted to the same office. Many of us]
re sure the time had come when
raan Lincoln was electea and wve
mnt to work to dissolve these United
tes. Now most of us thank God ]
did'nt do it. If we want a perfect,
vern men t and condition of society,
th everything to fit everybody's
ias and tastes always, we will have 1
get out of this and leave for Heaven.
iey are not 0on this earth and never
e been.
nother basic p)rinci ple of the dem
ratic party in this country is white,
premacy, which is really the same as
e principle of a government of the
ple, for black supremacy is- really a
vernent of the few unscrupulous
i owning and controlling the ig
rant and blinded many.
White supremacy is not only a prin
>le. t is a necessity. Common1
rse tells us that it is the only hope
the peace, security and prosperity
this co,untry. Reason would tell us
without experience, but we have I
perience which shuts out every
ubt.
['at same common sense tells us
at to secure white supremacy there
ist be white unity. A house divided
ainst itself cannot stand. Neither
a race. t
f both the white and colored races '
uld divide experience and common(
ise tells us that the result would be 1
litical amalgation'and inevitable so
I amalgamation, with our politics a
rrible and degrading struggle among (
mite men to seek the favor of negroes
association, patronage, deference C
. concessions. In that struggle the
est and meanest white men, those
to could most completely abandon
f respect and forget the instincts and
ditions of their race would win -
rv time."
